The Benefits of Evaporative Cooling Canberra

Evaporative coolers are great alternatives to air conditioning, but sometimes they don’t receive the recognition they deserve. Here are a few reasons why you should consider evaporative cooling for your Canberra home.

Evaporative coolers are much cheaper to operate than air conditioning units, with an average running cost between 3-10 cents per hour.

Cheaper to install than refrigerated air conditioning.

They use up to 75% less electricity than reverse cycle systems

Fewer working parts mean less maintenance & cheaper repairs

Constantly draws in fresh air from outside

Air is not dry or recirculated, which is better for allergy and asthma sufferers and it never dries out skin, eyes, or timber furniture or indoor plants

You can have windows and doors open while its running– no need to worry about children or pets coming and going from inside to outside

Evaporative Cooling Canberra is a great alternative to air conditioning as it is more efficient to operate, circulate fresh air throughout the house, and you can leave doors and windows open while it’s on! It is great for asthma and allergy sufferers, and the moisture keeps the air from drying out – meaning no dry and itchy eyes or throat!

Cons

This doesn’t mean that they are perfect for everyone. Canberra, Melbourne and South Australia tend to have hot, dry summers which are perfect for evaporative cooling, but Sydney and Queensland are too humid to enjoy the same benefit. Some people may also dislike the need to have doors and windows open even slightly, may prefer to have more control over the exact temperature inside.

Consider your own needs when it comes to cooling, but if you like fresh air in your home all the time, suffer allergies or asthma, and want to save on running costs, you can’t beat an evaporative cooler for a wise addition to your Canberra home.

Want to say what a fabulous job you did.
So professional, efficient and great tidying up!
Really wonderful team from inspection of my gas ducted heating on Thursday to installation of a new system on the Friday.
A warm and toasty house on Friday 😊
Great blokes, a pleasure to have them in the house and most helpful and friendly office administration and management team too.
Excellent to find a locally based firm...who offer great value for money, care about their customers and deliver as they say they will.
I would give them 10* if google let me

I can recommend Woden Valley Plumbing & Gasfitting for the service/repair of Brivis ducted gas heaters. Our heater was having problems during the start up sequence. WVP&G were able to schedule a service in a few days time and the technician, Josh, turned up at the appointed time and quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it by cleaning the flame detector. Josh was both efficient and knowledgeable and we were very happy with the service provided.read more

I was very pleased. I had to arrange a gas heater fix and replacement while interstate. Woden valley did a great job handling the work, and getting it done without any problems. They were good at managing the work which was important as I was not ale to be at the house when they did it.
So very good service and price. They give the type of service that most other Canberra companies seem unable to provide. So keep it up,, I rarely get good service in Canberra, thankfully this was one of those times.. thanks

How refreshing. A skilled plumber who is professional, friendly, customer focused and prepared to go the extra distance to ensure a good job. Happy to recommend Woden Valley Plumbing to anyone in need of some top rate plumbing assistance.read more

The Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting team were fantastic to deal with. They were engaging and responsive from the initial call. My hot water unit was on its last legs and with a family of five I was keen to have it replaced. I had a technician visit the same day to inspect the unit and reassure me it wouldn't burst!!! I then had a replacement unit installed the following day. The team were professional, they explained the options that were available and that would suit my family needs and they installed the unit without fuss. Best customer service I have received during my first 12 months in Canberra - highly recommend them.read more

Overall a very pleasant experience dealing with the Company. Experienced trades was quickly able to establish the fault in our evaporative cooling. Further they provided a compedative quote for a replacement unit and were able to give us an installation date quite soon given it was the busiest period for their business (peak summers). We are now awaiting the installation which was booked in by their friendly receptionist.read more
